Wonderful information for caregivers. Hopefully, Phyllis’s book will increase awareness of the healthcare professionals regarding caregiver stress in the family caregiver-the person providing care for a loved one in the home. These caregivers need their feelings validated & need to understand that there is a reason for them. They should not be made to feel inadequate or that they are selfish for taking the time to care for their own personal needs. I had a wonderful opportunity to work with several colleagues on an article on this very subject. The article is titled, “Stress Among Caregivers of Chronically Ill Older Adults: Implications for Nursing Practice” found in the Journal of Gerontological Nursing September 2012 – Volume 38 · Issue 9: 18-29 DOI: 10.3928/00989134-20120807-06
